THOMAS. Virgin Islands, May 16 recent events in Washington. Virginia, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands were explained today when Representative Marion Zioncheck, Democrat, Washington, said he mixes hair tonic with Virgin Islands rum, drinks it and likes it Zioncheck's revelation of his favorite beverage came at the height of his jubilation over a successful fishing'expedition. He returned from a sea trip with a tremendous catch of fish to exclaim to all within earshot: Tm happy, oh, so happy." Then he decided to stuff his fish. He recruited a taxidermist and a newspaper reporter, took them to his newest honeymoon quarters at the governor's palace and resumed his bridal tour celebrations.

"This is something new," check said while his apprehensive guests watched him mix hair tonic and the famous Virgin Islands rum, "Oh, oh, oh, this delights me. Yes, it is something new." The guests were not so delighted. The mere matter of the hair tonic in the Zioncheck concoction made them much less well off than the members of the congressman's fishing party who did not accompany him to the palace celebration. French fishermen who accompanied Zioncheck on the expedition were paid off generously in American money. They received ample gifts of good Virgin Islands rum.

But no hair tonic. It delighted them, they said, only as a beverage for M. Le Deputy check.

Warning Upon Spring Motor Travel Issued United States census statistics which had forecast an encouraging year for the drive against automobile accidents, are already beginning to look less hopeful as spring returns to reenact its annual week-end tragedy, according to R. E. O'Connor, president of the Southern West Virginia Auto club.

"Those first returns were written before the advent of spring and the open road," he said Saturday, "and today they are subject to serious qualification. To me that fact is the most disheartening element of returning spring and motoring weather. It seems that robins return only to sing requiem along our roadways. It is not a happy picture. "Week-ends offer the only chance that most of us get to enjoy a motor trip.

Unfortunately, 1 that is the worst time to travel. I Last year. Saturdays and Sundays again were the days on which fa- talities were most numerous. So i when you get'ready for your vaca- lion, plan trips to and from the site on other days of the week when highways are not jammed with pleasure-seeking throngs."

Motorists Glad Road Holes Are Being Filled Favorable comment on the improvement of the condition of the Maiden road, eastward from Charleston, has been received from tourists at the offices of the Southern West Virginia Auto club. Mrs. Grace O. Austin, secretary, said Saturday. "Progress is being made in eliminating enormous holes in this road by plowing out the old pavement and using gravel with tar poured over and packed down, which makes a very smooth road," Mrs.

Austin said. Road Commissioner Burr H. Simpson recently said he hoped to finish the Maiden road patching job by June 1. National Post Given State's Fire Marshal I State Fire Marshal Fred B. Wat' kins was elected a vice president of the fire marshal's division of the national Fire Prevention axsocia- tion at its meeting last week, his i office reported Saturday.

Mr. Watkins addressed the gath- cring on the effects of West ginia's new model arson law. which was parsed by the 1935 legislature. Before passage of the law defining four degrees of arson, he said, the penalty for the offense was regarded as too severe by most juries, with the result that his department found it difficult to obtain convictions. The new law.

he said, has been much more effective from a practical standpoint. Mrs. Glenn Quits As Demonstration Agent Mrs. Eleanor McCIung Glenn, county home demonstration agent, announced Saturday that she has sent her resignation from that post to the West Virginia university extension division of the United States department of agriculture. The resignation is effective July 1, Mrs.

Glenn said. She has been connected with the county agriculture agent's office here for nine and a half years. The real estate and personal property of the Morgan Lumber and Manufacturing company was sold for $45,780 Saturday at an auction conducted at the courthouse by Andrew A. Payne, special commissioner. The Kanawha Valley bank, with the purchase of 31 of the 34 parcels of property for sale, was the largest purchaser.

The sum bid in by the bank was S43.750. The Metropolitan Life Insurance company purchased two parcels at S10 each, and the Capitol Building and Loan corporation bought the remaining parcel for $10. The purchases are subject to all prior, specific liens, which total approximately $200,000. according to Mr. Payne.

All purchases are subject to the approval of the circuit court. Mr. Payne said he will present his report sometime this week. "There will be no interruption in the operation of the plant." he said after the sale Saturday. "The sale of it was the sale of a going concern.

The sale was made in a way that the most value could be gotten out of it as a going concern." The sale was made by Mr. Payne pursuant to a decree of the circuit court in the chancery cause of the Kanawha Valley bank against the lumber company for about $75,000 owed in mortgages, he said. There are about 100 other creditors and stockholders whose claims are to be satisfied. The parcels purrhased by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company are located in the Kanawha Realty and Investment company addition and the Bon Air addition to the city. The parcel purchased by the Capitol Buildmg and Loan corporation is located on Maple Terrace on Burlew Height-.

The bank's purchase includes the plant. land in Charleston. South Charleston anb! other points in Kanawha county.

M.

D. Garrico. member of the board, said Saturday. In the new barn will be embodied several new principles of construe- i tion. Mr.

Carrico said. The struc- ture will be entirely of metal, and the hay container and silo will also be of metal. This was decided upon. Mr. Carrico said, because some of the children at the institution are pyromaniacs and it was felt that all possible precautions against fire should be taken.

He said the barn cost "less than A survey of conditions in the Spencer area at the beginning of conservation work by the federal government is being used in an effort to determine how conservation of the soil resources of the state helps in rebuilding tf.e economic and social structure of a large representative area. The study is being made by the agricultural experiment station of West Virginia university. A similar study is to be made in that area five years after the beginning of the demonstration program. The Spencer area comprises 152,000 acres of Wirt and Roane counties. Soil-building practices for which producers in the state can receive payments under the conservation program have been approved by the secretary of agriculture, according to T.

H. McGovran. county agriculture agent. Although the rates of payment for the approved practices will not cover the total cost of putting them into effect, they should go far enough toward meeting these costs to induce farmers to put the practices into effect in 1936. he said.

The soil-building payment is in addition to the soil-conserving pay mcnt. which is made to farmers who plant a part of their soil-depleting base acreage to soil-conserving crops in 1936. and which will average about $10 per acre for the number of acres so diverted up to 15 per cent of the number of acres considered to be the normal soil-depleting acreage or base for the farm. sweet nea is a native of the island of Sicilv.

"Speaker Pelter," the chairman said, "already has told us he would have to clear the second floor before the legislature meets. I don't know where we're going.

Nothing has been arranged." Office space, or the lack of it, has been a sore point with the chairman for many months. Hr.
